Thanks for posting the Higgins Interview. My thoughts....
I found it VERY interesting that Barb said that she was approached to be mayor, and that it was something she had never considered. In my books, this essentially eliminates her from contention. I want someone that is in office because they desperately want the job, not because they got their ego stroked.
McCourt is/was kind of a dick. That's his schtick, and he's equally dickish whenever he speaks.....people know what they're going to get. If they don't, it's their own fault for being unprepared.
I think that the marionette comparison is pretty reasonable. I'm too believe that someone that never wanted to be mayor, and hadn't even considered it until the ego stroking began and has zero political/management experience is suddenly qualified to take the job?
I would vote Barb for Alderman, but not Mayor.
